Murphy Slams Trump’s First 100 Days: This Is A Story of Incompetence, Theft, Mind-Blowing Corruption Senator Chris Murphy Apr 29, 2025 109K subscribers ... 1,482,465 views ... 41K likes UNITED STATES CAPITOL WASHINGTON—U.S. Senator Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) on Tuesday spoke on the U.S. Senate floor to deliver a scathing indictment of President Trump's first 100 days in office. Murphy detailed the litany of corrupt acts that have defined this Administration, including the sale of White House access for the Trump family’s personal profit, manipulation of federal agencies for financial gain, and the systematic dismantling of anti-corruption safeguards. Transcript 0:00 SENATOR FROM CONNECTICUT. MR. MURPHY: ARE WE IN A QUORUM CALL? THE PRESIDING OFFICER: WE ARE NOT. MR. MURPHY: THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT. MY COLLEAGUES, YOU'RE GOING TO HEAR A LOT OF STORIES ABOUT THE FIRST 100 DAYS OF PRESIDENT TRUMP'S SECOND PRESIDENCY. THERE ARE A LOT OF STORIES. THERE IS THE STORY OF INCOMPETENCE. WE'RE DEALING WITH MULTIPLE MEASLES CASES ACROSS THE COUNTRY. THERE IS THE STORY ABOUT OUR ABDICATING OUR RIGHT TO LEAD, AS PRESIDENT TRUMP GOES ABOUT THE BUSINESS OF TRYING TO HAND UKRAINE A BRUTAL DICTATOR. THERE IS A STORY OF A TRANSFERRING WEALTH FROM THE POOR TO THE VERY, VERY WEALTHY WHO ARE ASKING FOR ANOTHER MASSIVE TAX CUT. BUT I WOULD ARGUE, MR. PRESIDENT, THAT THE MOST IMPORTANT STORY TO TELL IS A STORY OF CORRUPTION, A STORY OF MIND-BLOWING, MASSIVE, SCALEABLE 1:01 CORRUPTION. THAT STORY IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE WE ARE WATCHING THE THEFT OF TAXPAYER MONEY BY THE DECISION OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY TO LOOK THE OTHER WAY AS DONALD TRUMP ESSENTIALLY MONETIZES AT SCALE THE WHITE HOUSE AND THE POWERS GIVEN TO HIM BY THE CONSTITUTION OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE IN ORDER TO ENRICH HIMSELF AND HIS FRIENDS. AND IF WE DON'T TELL THIS STORY, AND IF WE DON'T MOUNT A NATIONAL BIPARTISAN, APOLITICAL RESISTANCE TO THIS THIEVERY, TO THIS CORRUPTION, AND IT BECOMES NORMALIZED AS JUST A PART OF DOING BUSINESS IN AMERICA, A N NORMAL FACET OF RESIDENTS IN THE WHITE HOUSE, THEN SHAME ON US, BECAUSE OUR DEMOCRACY WILL NOT SURVIVE. THIS LEVEL -- THIS SURVIVE THIS LEVEL OF CORRUPTION, GRIFT, AND 2:01 GRAFT. I AM GOING TO TELL THE STORY QUICKLY. OVER THE COURSE OF 100 DAYS, THERE ARE 40, 50, 60 INDIVIDUAL ACTS OF PRECEDENT-BREAKING CORR CORRUPTION, AND THAT'S INTENTIONAL BECAUSE WHAT PRESIDENT TRUMP IS TRYING TO DO IS ENGAGE IN SO MUCH PUBLIC CORRUPTION THAT YOU JUST BECOME NORMALIZED TO IT, THAT YOU STOP PAYING ATTENTION TO THE CORRUPTION BECAUSE CAN IT BE CORRUPTION IF IT IS JUST PLAYING OUT IN PUBLIC? HE'S TRYING TO MAKE YOU THINK THAT THIS KIND OF STUFF HAPPENS ALL THE TIME AROUND THE SCENES AND NOW ALL THAT'S DIFFERENT IS YOU ARE SEEING IT PUBLICLY. BUT THAT IS NOT TRUE. THIS IS NOT ACTUALLY HOW GOVERNMENT WORKS. AND I REFUSE TO ACCEPT THAT JUST BECAUSE THE CORRUPTION IS HAPPENING IN PUBLIC, IN FRONT OF THE CAMERAS FOR EVERYBODY TO SEE, THAT WE SHOULD ACCEPT IT. OKAY. I'M GOING TO TRY TO DO IT. I'M GOING TO TRY DO THIS AS ECONOMIC AS POSSIBLE. 3:00 I'M GOING TO HIGHLIGHT FOR YOU MAYBE THE 40 MOST EGREGIOUS EXAMPLES A OF CORRUPTION IN THE FIRST 100 DAYS. BUT THIS IS JUST THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG. SO ON JANUARY -- THIS IS BEFORE TRUMP IS EVEN SWORN IN -- AMAZON, WHICH HAS A DONE OF BUSINESS BEFORE THE INCOMING TRUMP WHITE HOUSE, PAYS $40 MILLION TO THE TRUMP FAMILY TO LICENSE A DOCUMENTARY IN A SERIES ABOUT MELANIA TRUMP. JUST A CASH PAYMENT FROM A COMPANY THAT HAS HUGE INTERESTS BEFORE THE INCHECK WHITE HOUSE TO THE TRUMP FAMILY. ON JANUARY 17, A FEW DAYS BEFORE, TRUMP IS SWORN IN FOR THE MOST CORRUPT ACT OF THE WHITE HOUSE. THE CREATION OF THE TRUMP MEME COIN, A BACKDOOR WAY FOR ANYONE TO SEND HIM MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN TOTAL SECRET. TRUMP DOESN'T DISCLOSE WHO BUYS THE COIN. HE RAHNDERS HIS INCOME -- HE LAUNDERS HIS INCOME FROM THE COIN THROUGH AN UNREGULATED CHINESE EXCHANGE. HE PROMOTES THE CHOSEN ON HIS 4:01 SOCIAL MEDIA FEEDS. IN THE FIRST MINUTE OF TRADING, ONE BUYER -- A CHINESE INDIVIDUAL -- PURCHASES SIX MILLION COINS SENDING THE PRICE THROUGH THE ROOF AND IMMEDIATELY MAKING A TON OF MONEY FOR TRUMP, WHO MAKES MONEY OFF OF EVERY TRANSACTION. TRUMP KNOWS WHO THIS PERSON IS, NO DOUBT, BUT AMERICAN PERSONS DO NOT. JANUARY 20, HE IS NOW SWORN IN AND HE FULFILLS A CAMPAIGN PROMISE TO THE OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY. THEY CAME-TO-DOWN TO MARCH -- THEY CAME DOWN TO MAR-A-LAGO AND SAID WE'LL GIVE YOU A MILLION DOLLARS IN CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS -- THIS IS AN OPEN REPORT, OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY SAYS WE'LL GIVE YOU A MILLION DOLLARS IN CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS IF YOU DO WHAT WE WANT WHEN YOU ARE SWORN IN. AND THE DAY HE'S SWORN IN, TRUMP ISSUES AN EXECUTIVE ORDER GUTTING ENVIRONMENTAL RULES SO THAT THE OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY CAN START MAKING BIGGER AMOUNTS OF MONEY. 5:02 ON JANUARY 25, TRUMPEMPTS THE INSPECTORS GENERAL -- TRUMP ELIMINATES THE INSPECTOR GENERAL, THE ETHICS IN FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND WHISTLEBLOWERS. ON JANUARY 25, 17 INSPECTORS GENERAL GET FIRED CLEARING THE WAY FOR THE PRESIDENT TO ENGAGE IN EVEN MORE CORRUPTION BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THE INSPECTORS GENERAL DO. THEY SIT IN THESE AGENCIES AND THEY LOOK FOR CORRUPTION. NOW THE INSPECTOR GENERAL ARE GONE. THEY'RE JUST GONE. BUT THAT'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH BECAUSE ON THE SAME DAY, TRUMP FIRES THE HEAD OF THE OFFICE OF SPECIAL COUNSEL. WHY THE WOULD YOU DO THAT? WELL, THAT OFFICE IS AN INVESTIGATIVE AND PROSECUTORIAL OFFICE THAT WORKS TO END GOVERNMENT AND POLITICAL CORRUPTION AND PROTECTS GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES WHO BECOME WHISTLEBLOWERS. THAT OFFICE IS GONE NOW. TWO DAYS LATER TRUMP ILLEGALLY FIRES NLRB MEMBER GWEN WILCOX, THIS ESSENTIALLY SHUTS DOWN THE 6:00 NLRB. WHY THAT IMPORTANT? BECAUSE THE GUYS STANDING BEHIND TRUMP ON INAUGURATION DAY, PEOPLE LIKE ZUCKERBERG AND BEZOS, THEY ARE BEING INVESTIGATED FOR MASSIVE WORKPLACE VIOLATIONS. NOW THE NLRB IS SHUT DOWN, A GIFT TO THE PEOPLE WHO FINANCED HIM AND GAVE HIM COVER ON INAUGURATION DAY. ON JANUARY 31, A TREND BEGINS. ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS ARE PAUSED AGAINST TRUMP LOYALISTS. THIS IS ANDY OGLES OF TENNESSEE, BEING INVESTIGATED FOR POTENTIALLY ILLEGAL LOANS MADE TO HIS 2022 CAMPAIGN. BUT RIGHT AFTER OGLE INTRODUCED A BILL TO AMEND THE CONSTITUTION TO ALLOW TRUMP TO SERVE A TERM, WHAT HAPPENS? TRUMP MAKES THE INVESTIGATION GOES AWAY. AS YOU WILL SEE, TRUMP'S JUSTICE 7:01 SYSTEM WILL OFTEN LOOK THE OTHER WAY IF YOU CHEAT OR STEAL BUT YOU ARE A FRIEND OF DONALD TRUMP'S. AT THE SAME TIME ANOTHER OF TRUMP'S FRIEND, HIS IRS NOMINEE, BILLY LONG, GETS HIS DONORS ALMOST ALL OF THEM HAVE DIRECT INTEREST BEFORE THE IRS, TO PAY OFF HIS SIX-FIGURE CAMPAIGN DEBT. IT'S A FABULOUSLY CORRUPT THING TO DO, BUT IT'S JUST NORMAL NOW. WHEN TRUMP IS SHOWING YOU THE WAY, THEN THE FOLKS WHO WORK FOR HIM FOLLOW SUIT. WE'LL JUMP TO FEBRUARY NOW. FEBRUARY 4. WE'RE INTO WHAT, WEEK 2 OF THE TRUMP WHITE HOUSE. TRUMP HAULS THE PGA AND THE IS SAUDI GOVERNMENT TO BROKER AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE TWO RIVAL GOLF LEAGUES SO TRUMP CAN MAKE MORE MONEY. HE'S IN BUSINESS WITH ONE OF THE ENTITIES THE SAUDI OWNED LIV LEAGUE. IN A NORMAL L WORLD THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES WOULDN'T BE IN BUSINESS WITH ANY 8:00 FOREIGN GOVERNMENT. BUT THE PRESIDENT IS. NOT ONLY IS THAT OKAY, BUT IT IS ALSO APPARENTLY OKAY FOR HIM TO BRING THE GOLF LEAGUE THAT HE'S IN BUSINESS WITH INTO THE WHITE HOUSE AND PRESSURE THE OTHER GOLF LEAGUE, THE RIVAL GOLF LEAGUE, TO CUT A DEAL. AND GUESS WHAT HAPPENS? THE PGA, WHICH HAD LONG SAID THEY WERE NOT GOING TO HOST EVENTS AT TRUMP'S COURSES AFTER BEING HAULED INTO THE WHITE HOUSE, LOOKING THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES IN THE EYE, SOMEBODY THEY CLEARLY HAVE TO DO BUSINESS WITH, THEY ANNOUNCE THAT THEY'RE GOING TO START ALLOWING THEIR TOURNAMENTS TO BE HELD AT TRUMP COURSES. BIG BENEFIT TO DONALD TRUMP'S PERSONAL BOTTOM LINE. FEBRUARY 6, TWO DAYS LATER, TRUMP ENDS THE CRIMINAL ENFORCEMENT OF THE FOREIGN AGENTS REGISTRATION ACT. DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS IS? YOU SHOULD. IT REQUIRES PEOPLE WHO ARE BEING PAID BY FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS TO REGISTER. IT'S NO LONGER GOING TO BE ENFORCED, SO NOW MEMBERS OF THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION CAN GET BACK DOOR PAYMENTS FROM FOREIGNER GOVERNMENTS AND NOBODY IS GOING TO ENFORCE THE LAW. THERE WERE PEOPLE WHO GOT 9:00 ARRESTED FOR DOING THIS EXACT SAME THING, GETTING PAID BY FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS WHILE WORKING FOR THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION IN TERM ONE. HE WANTS TO MAKE SURE IT'S NOT A PROBLEM IN TERM TWO, SO HE PAUSES ENFORCEMENT OF THE ACTUAL ACT. FOUR DAYS LATER TRUMP ELIMINATES THE CONSUMER FINANCIAL PROTECTION BUREAU. THIS IS JUST A MAGNIFICENT PRESENT TO HIS BILLIONAIRE ENABLERS BECAUSE THIS STOPS BIG BUSINESSES, BANKS FROM RIPPING OFF FINANCIAL CONSUMERS AND IT IS SHUT DOWN. THE SAME DAY CHARGES ARE DROPPED AGAINST ERIC ADAMS IN A MIND-BLOWINGLY PUBLIC AND BRAZEN LIQUID PROQUO. ADAMS SAYS HE'S GOING TO SUPPORT TRUMP. TRUMP DROPPINGS CORRUPTION CASES -- DROPS CORRUPTION CHARGES AGAINST ADAMS. THE DOOR IS OPEN TO ENGAGE IN CORRUPTION OR CRIMINALITY AS LONG AS YOU SUPPORT DONALD TRUMP. THE THING THAT MAKES THIS SO EGREGIOUS IS ADAMS AND THE WHITE 10:01 HOUSE GO ON TV TO ANNOUNCE THE CORRUPT DEAL. THEY DON'T HIDE IT. THEY SAY ADAMS IS NOW SUPPORTING DONALD TRUMP AND WE'RE NOW GOING TO DROP THE CHARGES AGAINST HIM, AND EVERYBODY GETS THE MESSAGE. THERE'S A LOT OF STUFF I CAN GET AWAY WITH AS A CORRUPT OFFICIAL AS LONG AS I AM IN BED POLITICALLY WITH DONALD TRUMP. SAME DAY, FEBRUARY 10, DOJ PAUSES ENFORCEMENT OF THE FOREIGN CORRUPT PRACTICES ACT. THIS IS THE LAW THAT STOPS AMERICAN COMPANIES FROM BRIBING FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS IN ORDER TO GET BUSINESS. ON FEBRUARY 10, TRUMP SUSPENDS ENFORCEMENT OF AN ANTIBRIBERY STATUTE, PAVING THE WAY FOR HIS FRIENDS IN CORPORATE AMERICA TO START BRIBING FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS. AGAIN, TWO DAYS LATER THE STATE DEPARTMENT FORECASTS THAT THEY ARE GOING TO DRAMATICALLY UPSCALE THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT THEY'RE GOING TO SEND TO TESLA. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME ELON MUSK SHOWS UP IN THIS STORY. BY FEBRUARY 12, ELON MUSK IS PRETTY WELL EMBEDDED IN THE 11:01 WHITE HOUSE, AND GUESS WHAT? THE STATE DEPARTMENT IS NOW GOING TO SPEND $400 MILLION FOR ARMORED TESLAS, IT'S LARGEST EXPECTED CONTRACT IN THE UPCOMING YEAR. FEBRUARY 12, SAME DAY, MUSK INFILTRATES THE DEPARTMENT OF LABOR AND OSHA, GIVING HIM EXCLUSIVE SECRET ACCESS TO LABOR LAW VIOLATION DATA AGAINST HIM AND HIS COMPETITORS. UNETHICAL, CORRUPT, BUT THIS STUFF IS JUST HAPPENING EVERY SINGLE DAY. A FEW DAYS LATER, ON FEBRUARY 15 AND 16, MUSK NOW STARTS REALLY TESTING THE LIMITS OF WHAT HIS BOSS WILL LET HIM GET AWAY WITH A. HE FIRES A SPECIFIC SET OF REGULATORS AT THE FDA THAT ARE REVIEWING ONE OF HIS MEDICAL PRODUCTS, NEUROLINK. THE MESSAGE IS CLEAR, YOU'VE GOT TO DO RIGHT BY MY APPLICATIONS OR YOU RISK GETTING THE AX TOO. THREE DAYS LATER, ON FEBRUARY 19, TRUMP'S NEW U.S. ATTORNEY FOR WASHINGTON, D.C., ED MARTIN, STARTS TO USE HIS GOVERNMENT 12:01 POWER TO HARASS TRUMP CRITICS. HE LAUNCHES SOMETHING CALLED OPERATION WHIRLWIND AND IS PRETTY UNAPOLL GENTLEMEN PARTICULAR ABOUT THE FACT THAT THERE IS GOING TO BE ENFORCEMENT WHO GETS IN THE WAY OF DOGE. HE SAYS ANYBODY WHO TRIES TO STOP OR PROTEST OR HARASS DOSAGE'S WORK IS NOW GOING TO BE THE SUBJECT OF OPERATION WHIRLWIND. THE U.S. ATTORNEY FOR D.C. IS TROLLING DOGE CRITICS ONLINE, OBVIOUSLY THREATENING CRIMINAL ENFORCEMENT. YOU HAVE SEE WHAT'S HAPPENING HERE? WE'RE 30 DAYS INTO THE ADMINISTRATION, AND EVERYBODY IN TRUMP'S WORLD, INCLUDING THE SUPPOSEDLY INDEPENDENT U.S. ATTORNEYS, ARE GETTING THE MESSAGE IT IS PART OF YOUR JOB IF YOU WORK FOR TRUMP TO USE YOUR GOVERNMENT POWERS TO ENRICH YOURSELF OR TRUMP OR TO HELP TRUMP POLITICALLY. FEBRUARY 21, TWO DAYS LATER, THE 13:00 SEC DROPS AN INVESTIGATION INTO A COMPANY CALLED ROBIN HOOD. WHY DOES IT MATTER? THIS FIRM DONATED $2 MILLION TO TRUMP'S INAUGURATION FUND. 30 DAYS LATER THE SEC DROPS AN INVESTIGATION INTO THAT FIRM. PUT A PIN IN THAT BECAUSE YOU'RE GOING TO HEAR STORIES LIKE IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN. THROUGHOUT FEBRUARY, WE WATCHED THE RICH GUYS THAT ARE SURROUNDING TRUMP COME UP WITH NEW WAYS TO MONETIZE THEIR POSITIONS. KASH PATEL IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE, THE NOMINEE TO HEAD THE FBI, MAYBE THE MOST IMPORTANT INDEPENDENT BUREAU IN THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. WHILE HE'S GOING THROUGH THAT PROCESS, HE IS SELLING MERCHANDISE ONLINE RANGING FROM T-SHIRTS TO PLAYING CARDS WITH THE PROCEEDS SUPPOSEDLY GOING TO WHISTLEBLOWERS EDUCATION AND DEFAMATION CASES. FEBRUARY 26, NEWS BREAKS OF THE FAA CONSIDERING GIVING A $2.4 BILLION CONTRACT TO ELON MUSK'S STARLINK. BUT IT'S NOT LIKE A REGULAR 14:01 CONTRACT. IT'S A CONTRACT THAT WAS ALREADY AWARDED TO ONE OF MUSK'S COMPETITORS, VERIZON, AND WORD LEAKS THAT THE WHITE HOUSE IS THINKING OF RIPPING THE CONTRACT AWAY FROM VERIZON BECAUSE VERIZON IS NOT A POLITICAL SUPPORTER OF TRUMP IN THE WAY ELON MUSK IS AND GIVING IT TO ELON MUSK. THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN AS REPORTED. THE CONTRACT HAS NOT BEEN CANCELED YET. BUT THERE ARE REGULAR REPORTS OF THE ADMINISTRATION STILL RELENTLESSLY ATTACKING VERIZON IN A CLEAR ATTEMPT TO TRY TO UNDERMINE THEIR CONTRACT. FEBRUARY 27, THE NEXT DAY, TRUMP DROPS A LAWSUIT AGAINST CAPITAL 1. WHY DOES THIS MATTER? CAPITAL ONE DONATED ONE MILLION DOLLARS TO TRUMP'S INAUGURATION FUND. YOU DONATE A BIG AMOUNT OF MONEY TO TRUMP'S INAUGURATION AND YOU CAN ASK HIM FOR SOMETHING. WE'RE NOT DONE. THAT SAME DAY THE SEC DROPS A LAWSUIT AGAINST COIN BASE. YOU GOT THE STORY NOW. COIN BASE DONATED $1 MILLION TO TRUMP'S INAUGURATION FUND. THEY ARE NOW TOLD IT'S OKAY TO KEEM CHEATING CONSUMERS -- KEEM 15:01 CHEATING CONSUMERS. WE'RE NOT DONE. ON FEBRUARY 28, A DAY LATER, THE DOJ ANNOUNCED THAT IT WOULD DROP A COMPLAINT AGAINST SPACEX, ELON MUSK'S SPACEX FOR LABOR DISCRIMINATION. ELON MUSK IS LIKE WAIT AGO SECOND, ALL OTHER BIG DONORS ARE GETTING OUT OF JAIL. I WANT MY GET OUT OF JAIL FREE CARD AS WELL. HE GETS IT FROM DOJ. WE'RE NOW INTO MARCH, MARCH 1. A REPORT BREAKS -- THIS IS MAYBE SECOND TO COIN BASE, THE MOST STUNNING ACT OF CORRUPTION. ON MARCH 1, WORD BREAKS THAT TRUMP IS SELLING MEETINGS AT MAR-A-LAGO. ON AT LEAST ONE OCCASION TRUMP CHARGED GUESTS $1 MILLION TO DINE WITH HIM AT MAR-A-LAGO. ACCORDING TO THE SAME REPORT, BUSINESS LEADERS CAN SECURE A ONE ON ONE MEETING WITH THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES FOR A $5 MILLION PAYMENT TO DONALD TRUMP. IF YOU WERE MAYOR OF A 16:03 MEDIUM-SIZED TOWN AND IT WAS REPORTED THAT YOU WERE SELLING MEETINGS FOR LIKE $200, YOU WOULD BE ARRESTED. YOU WOULD BE RUN OUT OF TOWN. BUT NOT DONALD TRUMP. HE'S SELLING MEETINGS FOR $5 MILLION, ACCORDING TO THIS REPORT. AND BECAUSE OF THE CORRUPTION IN THIS WHITE HOUSE IS DAILY AND NORMAL, HE GETS AWAY WITH IT. MARCH 2 TRUMP LAUNCHES THE CRYPTO RESERVE FUND. THIS IS GOING TO INVOLVE GOVERNMENT TAXPAYER DOLLARS PURCHASING AND HOLDING A VARIETY OF DIGITAL ASSETS IN A STRATEGIC RESERVE FUND, A MOVE THAT DEFINITELY INFLATES AND PROTECTS TRUMP'S INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO BY NOW, YOU UNDERSTAND, VERY HEAVILY DEPENDENT ON CRYPTO ASSETS. THIS NORMALLY WOULDN'T BE A PROBLEM BECAUSE NORMALLY WHEN SOMEBODY TAKES A HIGH POSITION LIKE PRESIDENT OR GOVERNOR OR MAYOR, THEY DIVEST FWR FROM THEIR OWN PERSONAL ASSETS OR PUT IT IN A BLIND FUND. 17:01 TRUMP DOES NONE OF THAT. HE'S CONTROLLING HIS OWN ASSETS, HIS FAMILY IS CONTROLLING ASSETS WHILE HE MAKES POLICY THAT BENEFITS HIMSELF AND HIS FAMILY FINANCIALLY. ON MARCH 3, A CURIOUS THING, DOJ INTERVENES IN AN OBSCURE BUT OPEN AND SHUT 2020 COLORADO ELECTIONS CASE. THIS IS THE CASE OF TINA PETERS WHO TAMPERED WITH VOTING MACHINES ON TRUMP'S BEHALF. SHE WAS CONVICTED BY A JURY OF HER PEERS, OPEN AND SHUT. BECAUSE PETERS IS A MAGA L LOYALTY, DOJ SAID IT'S GOING TO STEP IN AND REVIEW THE CASE BECAUSE THERE ARE CONCERNS ABOUT HOW IT WAS PROSECUTED. THIS IS JUST PRESIDENT TRUMP AGAIN CLEARLY SHIELDING THOSE THAT VIOLATED THE LAW TO HELP HIM FROM CONSEQUENCES. SAME THING, DIFFERENT DAY. NO, NOT EVEN A DIFFERENT DAY. THIS IS STILL MARCH 3. UGA, LABS DONATED $100,000 TO THE TRUMP INAUGURATION FUNDS. THEY GET P WHAT EVERYBODY ELSE IS GETTING. THE SEC CLOSES AN ONGOING 18:00 INVESTIGATION INTO THE COMPANY. ON MARCH 4, DOGE LAYS OFF THOUSANDS OF IRS EMPLOYEES. THIS IS BAD FOR A LOT OF REASONS, BUT IT CERTAINLY HELPS TRUMP'S MAR-A-LAGO FRIENDS BECAUSE THE IRS NOW CANNOT ENFORCE THE LAW AGAINST THE BIG, GIANT TAX CHEATS IN THE WAY THAT IT COULD HAVE WHEN IT HAD THOSE PERSONNEL ON THE BOOKS. MAR-A-LAGO IS CELEBRATING. MARCH 4, SAME DAY, WORD BREAKS THAT THE COMMERCE DEPARTMENT IS CONSIDERING CHANGES TO THIS VERY SPECIFIC RURAL BROADBAND PROGRAM. AND WHO'S ELIGIBLE? WHY? BECAUSE ELON MUSK WANTS TO DOMINATE THAT PROGRAM. UNDER THE PROGRAM'S ORIGINAL RULES STARLINK WAS CAPPED AT $4.1 BILLION. THIS CURIOUS CHANGE WILL ALLOW ELON MUSK'S COMPANY STARLINK TO RECEIVE BETWEEN $10 BILLION AND $20 BILLION FROM THE RURAL BROADBAND PROGRAM. THIS IS LIKE A BROKEN RECORD, BUT SIX DAYS LATER THE CFPB, WHICH IS BASICALLY SHUT DOWN BUT EXISTS IN NAME ONLY, IT DROPS A 19:01 LAWSUIT AGAINST THE BANK OF AMERICA AND J.P. MORGAN. BANK OF AMERICA DONATED $500,000 TO THE INAUGURATION. ON MARCH 11, A DAY LATER TRUMP AND MUSK HOLD THIS NOW VERY WELL KNOWN ADVERTISEMENT FOR TESLA ON THE WHITE HOUSE LAWN. THIS IS JUST TAXPAYER DOLLARS USED TO SUPPORT THE PERSONNEL AT THE WHITE HOUSE AND THE WHITE HOUSE BEING USED TO SELL CARS FOR ELON MUSK, AND THE MESSAGE AGAIN IS PRETTY SIMPLE HERE. IF YOU ARE LOYAL TO ME AND YOU PAY ANY KIND OF PRICE FOR YOUR LOYALTY TO ME, I WILL USE GOVERNMENT RESOURCES TO HELP YOU, TO GET YOU OUT OF TROUBLE, EVEN INCLUDING FREE ADVERTISING. ON MARCH 19, WE'RE EIGHT DAYS LATER, THE GEO GROUP DONATED $500,000 FOR TRUMP'S INAUGURATION FUND. THIS IS A PRIVATE PRISON COMPANY, AND THE NLRB DROPS ITS 20:01 INVESTIGATION INTO THIS COMPANY. IT'S REALLY GETTING DISGUSTING AT THIS POINT. I DON'T KNOW THAT THERE'S ANYBODY LEFT THAT MADE A MAJOR DONATION TO THE INAUGURATION FUND THAT HAS NOT GOTTEN THEIR FAVOR FROM DONALD TRUMP. ON MARCH 24 THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT GUTS SOMETHING CALLED THE CORPORATE TRANSPARENCY ACT. THIS IS THE REGULATION THAT REQUIRES BUSINESSES TO REVEAL THEIR TRUE OWNERS TO THE GOVERNMENT. THESE NEW RULES NOW MAKE IT EASIER FOR BILLIONAIRES TO HIDE MONEY TO AVOID TAXES, TO ENGAGE IN CORRUPTION. LESS ACCOUNTABILITY FOR CORPORATIONS. MARCH 25, A DAY LATER, THE SEC REDUCES FROM $125 MILLION TO $50 MILLION AN EXISTING FINE. THIS HAS BEEN LITIGATED. THIS COMPANY RIPPLE, A BLOCK CHAIN BASED INTERNET COMPANY, IT'S BEEN FINED AND TRUMP COMES IN AND REDUCES THE FINE FROM $125 MILLION TO $50 MILLION. YOU KNOW THE STORY BY NOW. THESE GUYS MADE A BIG INVESTMENT IN THE INAUGURATION. 21:00 MOST OF THESE COMPANIES THAT GOT A GET OUT OF JAIL FREE OR HAD INVESTIGATIONS RIPPLE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THEY GOT IT RIGHT, THEY MADE A $5 MILLION DONATION TO TRUMP'S INAUGURAL FUND AND GOT THEIR BILL REDUCED BY $70 MILLION. TRUMP -- ONE OF THE CAMPAIGN MEGA DONORS, THIS IS A PARDON FOR ONE OF HIS MAJOR CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTORS, WHEN ASKED ABOUT THE PARDON, TRUMP SAID THEY SAY THE THING THEY DID WAS WRONG, BUT HE WAS ONE OF THE FIRST PEOPLE WHO SUPPORTED ME FOR PRESIDENT. HE JUST TELLS YOU WHAT HE DID. HE SAID, YEAH, THEY SAID WHAT HE DID WAS WRONG, HE DID SOMETHING PROBABLY PRETTY WRONG, BUT HE SUPPORTED ME FOR PRESIDENT, SO I'M GIVING HIM A PARDON. I'M NOT SAYING THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF BAD THINGS THAT HAPPENED UNDER REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRAT 22:01 WITH EXECUTIVE ORDERS. IN APRIL, TRUMPS ISSUES AN EXECUTIVE ORDER ON COAL MINING, THE SHARES OF THE COMPANY OWNED BY ROBERT -- BY JOSEPH KRAFT, WHO HELPED LEAD THE TRUMP FUNDRAISING EFFORTS SHOOTS UP. ON APRIL 9, IT'S REALLY CURIOUS TIMELINE OF EVENTS PLAYS OUT IN WHICH TRUMP POSTS ON HIS SOCIAL MEDIA, THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY. A LOT OF HIS FOLLOWERS COMPLIED, THEY MAKE INVESTMENTS IN THE MARKET. THERE'S REPORTS AND SPECULATION THAT MANY IN HIS INNER CIRCLE MIGHT HAVE DONE THE SAME THING AND A COUPLE OF HOURS LATER, HE POSTS THAT HE IS POSTPONING HIS TARIFFS AND THE MARKET SHOOTS UP AND POTENTIALLY A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO HAD ACCESS MADE MONEY AS WELL. ON APRIL 17, TRUMP STEERS 23:00 BILLIONS OF TAPE DOLLARS TO SOMETHING CALLED THE GOLDEN DOME. ELON MUSK SATELLITE COMPANY IS A FRONTRUNNER FOR TRUMP'S GOLDEN DOME. THIS IS AN UNPROVEN DEFENSE SYSTEM, IT SUPPOSEDLY HAS A PRICE TAG OF HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS, MONEY THAT NOW LOOKS AS IF IT WILL BE FUNNELED DIRECTLY TO SHON SHON. ON APRIL -- ELON MUSK. ON APRIL 23, NOW IT'S HIKE HE CAN DO ANYTHING HE WANTS, HE HAS JUST BLOWN THE LID OFF OF ANY EX PECKING TAGSS OF WHAT -- EXPECTATIONS OF WHAT A PRESIDENT CAN AND CANNOT DO. A MESSAGE APPEARS ON THE HOME PAGE FOR TRUMP'S MEME HOLDERS WOULD BE -- AND THE TOP 25 COIN HOLDERS, FINANCIAL INVESTORS IN DONALD TRUMP'S COYNE, WOULD GET 24:04 A SPECIAL TOUR OF THE WHITE HOUSE. IN THE TWO DAYS OF THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE A SPECIAL VIP TOUR IN THE WHITE HOUSE, TRUMP MADE NEARLY A MILLION DOLLARS IN TRADING FEES ALONE. THEY ARE SELLING ACCESS TO THE WHITE HOUSE. TRUMP'S FAMILY, THIS IS JUST LAST WEEKEND ANNOUNCES THE LAUNCH OF A PRIVATE CLUB CALLED THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH, A NEW PRIVATE CLUB IN WASHINGTON, THE INITIATION FEE IS AROUND HALF A MILLION DOLLARS, IT IS ADVERTISED AS A PLACE WHERE YOU CAN HOLD SECRET AUDIENCES WITH THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION AS LONG AS YOU PAY DONALD TRUMP'S FAMILY AND FINANCIAL BACKERS OVER $500,000 IN MEMBERSHIP FEES. IT IS APPARENTLY ALREADY SOLD OUT. IN IS NOT NORMAL. NONE OF THIS IS NORMAL. THIS IS OUTLANDISH, THIS IS ILLEGAL, THIS IS 25:02 UNCONSTITUTIONAL, BRAZEN CORRUPTION, AND THIS IS ONLY THE FIRST 100 DAYS. I JUST DETAILED 40 INSTANCES OF MIND-BLOWING CORRUPTION IN JUST 40 DAYS, CAPPED OFF BY AN ATTEMPT TO JUST SELL ACCESS TO THE WHITE HOUSE TO PEOPLE WHO PUT MONEY IN THE POCKET OF DONALD TRUMP'S PERSONAL BUSINESSES. DONALD TRUMP WANTS TO NUMBER THIS COUNTRY INTO BELIEVING THAT THIS IS JUST HOW GOVERNMENT WORKS. THAT HE'S OWED THIS. THAT EVERY PRESIDENT IS OWED THIS. THE GOVERNMENT HAS ALWAYS BEEN CORRUPT AND HE'S JUST DOING IT OUT IN THE OPEN. BUT THIS IS NOT HOW GOVERNMENT WORKS. THIS HAS BEEN THE STORY OF HIS FIRST 100 DAYS, BUT IT'S OUR CHOICE AS A NATION TO ALLOW IT TO BE THE STORY OF THE REST OF HIS TERM. WE NEED TO EXPOSE WHAT HE IS DOING. WE NEED TO RALLY EVERYBODY FROM THE LEFT TO THE RIGHT, NOBODY IN THIS COUNTRY, WHETHER YOU ARE A HARDENED CONSERVATIVE OR HARDENED PROGRESSIVE SHOULD ROOT 26:02 FOR THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES TO BE ENRICHING HIMSELF OFF OF THIS POSITION. WE NEED TO RALLY THIS NATION AGAINST THIS CORRUPTION AND BRING IT TO AN END. BECAUSE IF DONALD TRUMP GETS WHAT HE WANTS AND WE START ALLOWING OUR GOVERNMENT'S LEADERS TO OPENLY STEAL FROM US DURING THE FIRST 100 DAYS OR FOR THE REST OF HIS TERM, THEN I AM TELLIN
